I am soooooooo damn tired of picking up other peoples trash

[Smokepole]

I'll contact the dnr gal up there and see if they can help with a truck or some bags.  Maybe we can get some folks to help this spring when it warms up!

I rememeber going duck hunting with my dad as a kid, and him looking at me funny and wondering what was wrong with me, when I would pick up all the empty shells at the end of the hunt.  I think that's why a lot of hunters don't even think about picking up empties.

I grew up the same. Waxed paper shells broke down fast. So they never use to pick them up.

I picked up a bunch of spent 12ga a few years ago. This is a 15 shell limit area. We were stopped by a game warden on the way out and he checked those old shells thinking that these were ours....Be carefull with what you pack out; They may think it's yours.

This is why they leave them there. Because they shoot more than 15. But it is easy to tell if it is a old or new shot shell.
I just keep mine separate from the others that I pick up.

c-post was cleaned up twice last year that I know of and you couldn't tell two weeks later. I know a few people that try to help keep it cleaned up just to many people leaving there trash. I try to pick some up all the time but, you need a dump truck to keep up with it and it would cost to much to dump the trash. If I had a place to dump the trash I would be able to do a lot more.

Well it's good to hear there are some guys trying to help out.  I know it would cost a fortune to dump all that trash.  It's a real dilemma when people leave so many appliances and furniture.  We were up there shooting black powder during a snow day and the area was pristine under 6" of snow.  Went back up there couple days ago & it looked like a war zone, after the snow was melted off.  One guy leaves a bunch of crap laying around, then everyone else seems to think, "why even try?"

Well. too bad my Dad didn't raise everyone 

He and Grandpa were nuts about leaving no trace.  I come back from most every outing with a couple smaller bags of garbage that wasn't mine.

Nothing hacks me off quite like finding a great camp spot and finding a fire pit full of charred beer cans, (always cheap, cheap beer) green wood and broken glass.  Bottle caps all over

As stated previously most dumps will work with you about dumping found trash. Especially if coordinated prior to showing up. Also, Ft. Lewis will accept everything recycleable no matter where it came from.

Wait, C-post is a real place?!

My duck hunting partner and I picked up another pile of trash at Nisqually Tuesday.
Spent Shells: These are trash.
Empty Beverage Cans: These are also trash.
Cigarette Butts: These are trash.
Candy Wrappers: These are trash too.
Cardboard Shotgun Shell Boxes: These are also trash.
To all of you selfish, self centered so called waterfowl hunters that leave the above in the woods or marsh - Extract Your Cranium from Your Rectum. You're ruining this sport for those of us that really care about it.

My next camouflage jacket purchase will be for the new Washington Duck Blind camo. It will have lots of brightly colored shotgun shells, Red Bull and Budweiser cans and Misc other forms of trash splashed all across it. This way I'll actually blend in with the surroundings.

If this thread is not you, please help out this sport, yourself and the rest of us that care by picking up this trash when you come across it please. I do this every time I hunt but sometimes feel like the Lone Ranger when doing so.

THANK YOU!

you should come over to the little Naches after the long weekends like memorial day, or after hunting season.  What a friggin mess.  For some reason folks think that leaving a heaping pile of trash 5 feet tall in the fire pit is "cleaning up".  95% of this mess comes from folks from.....oh never mind, the whiners will just get butt hurt and it'll turn into a big mess....again.

Come on now, you know you want to say Seattle    Seattle people don't go camping...

Would be interesting to take pictures of peoples camps and when they ask what you are doing just saying documenting for trash left behind. But that would probably just stir things up too.

[jeepguy]

yes or just post some signs about trash being left  that way theres no contact
